Behind the political debates and public stereotypes are real mothers raising children while carrying the emotional weight of judgment, exclusion, and silence in modern America.
As a single lesbian, I adopted two girls from the foster care system after being their foster parent. I worked in the movement to end violence against women and saw so many children in need of homes. I know I am not alone, there are thousands of us who adopted kids who no one else wanted. I think it is another wrinkle to this forgotten and challenging story.
Hang in there…. Things HAVE to change in this country - or it is not worth living here!!
